Don't give up on your USB headset if you don't want to buy a new one. You can get a USB extension cord. I bought one from Dick Smith (I think ... it is not the same as the one I have) so he could use the PS3 camera on the table when he plays Eye of Judgement. You can get them 5m and 10m long.

Ozi, I have one of those that I bought for Burnout Paradise. It' very good. I was using a Jabra BT125 that came with Warhawk, but my fellow BOP drivers complained that I was emitting a constant buzz/hum. The replacement fixed the prob.

Only problem is, I've been on a 6-month sabbatical from gaming while I moved house, etc. and now I return, I can't find the instructions to relink/turn off etc.
('s OK. I googled it. Note to self:: light must flash green/red to relink...)

I use wireless headphones, with a Microsoft usb headset on over the top

It looks ridiculous and feels weird but it means the mic doesn't pick up and transmit the game sounds and it's easy to press the mute button when I'm not talking so it doesn't pick up other external sounds.

Maybe it's the distance from my mouth that's the problem for my GIOTECH and Jabra or the fact I'm trying to be very quiet so as not to wake the rest of the family.

Might need a Logitech cordless myself.

I saw you name pop up on screen the other night indicating that you were speaking. couldn't hear anything out of my speakers. other players with voice were coming through ok. you must have been very quite
